Regimental Colours generally refer to the flags carried by the regiment that has the regiment's crest or coat of arms or identification. Like the US, a regimental color guard would have a national flag and a regimental flag. These were the colors that the men rallied around and fought to protect their identity. I hope that is your answer.

What was the importance of flag bearers in the civil war?
Flag bearers did just what their name entitles, held their colors on the battlefield. In the Confederate Army each regiment had a battle flag and sometimes a state flag. In the Union Army each regiment carried a national flag as well as a regimental flag which had the eagle holding a shield. Not only were these flags a symbol of pride to the soldiers, they also had the very important job of helping to keep the men in line (you were taught to "dress" on the colors) as well as help commanders know what regiment was which and where they were on the battlefield.

Why does President Barack Obama wear British regimental stripe neckties 100 percent and never American regimental stripe neckties?
First, this is an internet myth, or perhaps another myth from people who believe Mr. Obama is a secret "British colonialist." But the facts are that he wears a wide variety of styles and colors of ties. Some are striped, some are solid color, a few have designs (including polka-dots) or tiny colored flecks in them. This has been well-reported by news magazines like Time and Newsweek, and there are numerous photos of the president wearing these various ties. It is thus difficult to make the case that his choice of ties says he is anti-American.
What flags were carried by American and British troops in the American Revolution?
http://www.americanrevolution.com/Flags.htm British units would carry two colours. The King's Colour and the Regimental Colour. The King's Colour is the current British flag with one exception. North Ireland's red cross is not present on the colours of the 1770s. The Regimental Colours would be the colour of the regiment's facings with the regimental crest in the middle. Americans would have had an assortment of colours due to the lack of a defined national flag. Many towns and regions had their own flags and symbols. Some famous ones are the Pine Tree Flag and the Gadsden flag.
